Recently, the mechanic put on the shelves a new configuration of the Dawning 15 Pro 2024 Ryzen Edition. This product was born at the end of February this year, the first choice of Ryzen 9 7940H and Ryzen 7 8845H processors, the new models on the shelves are changed to Ryzen 7 7435H processors, although the CPU performance has been reduced, but on the basis of the same RTX 4060 independent graphics card, the price has been hit at 5699 yuan, which is more suitable for gamers with limited budgets.
First of all, let's figure out the identity of Ryzen 7 7435H, which is essentially a shrunken version of Ryzen 7 7735H, the main change is that there is no core graphics, and the maximum boost frequency has also been reduced from 4.75GHz to 4.5GHz. For the game laptop, without a core display, you can directly connect to the independent display throughout the whole process, and get a higher game frame rate, but at the cost of sacrificing battery life, you can't have it both ways.
The CPU performance of the Ryzen 7 7435H is certainly far from that of the new generation Ryzen 7840H and 8845H, and if you usually need to run some productivity applications that eat CPU, the efficiency of the 7435H is indeed worse. But if you buy a laptop mainly for gaming, with the same graphics card and power consumption, the actual game frame rate of the 7435H and the other two big brothers is really the same.
At present, the new version of Ryzen 7 7435H Dawning 15 Pro mainly pushes 2 configurations (16+512 don't need to look at it), 16GB+1TB version debuts at 5699 yuan, and 32GB+1TB is 5999 yuan. The Ryzen 7940H and 8845H versions of the Dawning 15 Pro are now 6299 yuan (16+512) and 6599 yuan (16+1TB), and the price difference of 700 yuan is enough to install a 2TB SSD.
Let's take a look at the design features of the Dawning 15 Pro Ryzen Edition, it adopts a beautiful silver-white appearance, with resolute engraved lines and a bronzing logo on the surface, and the C-side trackpad and power button are also decorated in orange, which is more fashionable and highly recognizable, and is also equipped with an independent numeric keypad and full-size arrow keys.
The screen of the Ryzen 7 7435H version has not changed, with a 15.6-inch 16:9 display ratio panel, 2560×1440 pixel resolution, 100% sRGB high color gamut, 165Hz refresh rate, 300nits brightness, and DC dimming.
In terms of interfaces, the product provides USB-A3.2 Gen2, USB-A3.2 Gen1, USB-C3.2 Gen2 that supports PD charging, USB-C3.2 Gen2 that supports video output, HDMI, RJ45, audio interface and power jack.
In terms of internal design, it has a built-in 53.35Wh battery, 2 memory slots, 2 2280 M.2 hard drive bays, dual fans and five heat pipes, which is not as much work as the triple fans and three M.2 hard drive slots of this year's Dawning 15 Pro Core Edition.
In general, although the new version of Dawning 15 Pro has reduced CPU performance, it has little impact on the gaming experience, and compared with the 7940H version, it can save 700 yuan of real money, which significantly reduces the cost of entry for players. The initial price of this product is very cost-effective, but whether it is worth buying after the first period depends on how much the price rises after the first period. Nowadays, there are more and more 4060 gaming laptops that have fallen below the 6,000 mark, and the Dawning 15 Pro still has to be cautious about raising prices if it wants to gain a competitive advantage.
